Muhammad Hassan's run was cursed with the events in Europe.
every masked Luchador in WWE is cursed the moment the company labels them as "the next Rey Mysterio"
The company doesn't label them anything... Fans do. ..
I'd say the fact he raped someone and got off on a technicality kinda messed his changes when rapist Vince was gone
Exactly. I love that dub of Vince saying come out here you rapist, and Gable comes out.
I'm certain they knew that _ but could easily create their video on his so many other miscues _ and stay away from that stuff
His brother remains still pretty good in NXT which no one talks about
Nobody knew he had a brother
@@RomaroBrandonI think that was one of his points.
Thought it was *bad* for Damon Kemp that he was never allowed to be billed as Gable's brother on TV, but it may have saved his career, at least his job...
At least Gable Stevenson got Baron Corbin over on his way out.
Given the credentials and potential he had, this is the worst flop in WWE history.
Dear Lord that Great American Bash match was awful and i witnessed it in person
What was the story? Did he look really lost, or nervous, or not into it or?
@@DavidOwen-yv8wz the crowd heavily panned it. I feel so bad for Corbin
And yet I bet you mark out for someone dreadful like Jade Cargill. Really sucks when when the plug is pulled after one chance even though they didn't even really fail & meanwhile a drug addict like Jeff Hardy or a scumbag a-hole like CM Punk are given a thousand chances & still don't improve or change.
I think WWE announced the Gable Steveson signing too soon... probably just because we were coming out of the pandemic and they wanted some PR buzz.
But the problem becomes: when somebody gets announced, wrestling fans are going to generally assume that they are ready to go and will be on TV shortly - and if you make them wait too long it'll start to become a meme, like the whole "Veer is coming!" stuff.
If they wanted him associated with Kurt Angle, at least in the sense of being from similar backgrounds, they should have waited until Gable was ready to go and then do a bit where somebody brings up something-something Kurt Angle and some villain starts mouthing off Kurt... carry that on for a week or two and then have Michael Cole announce that Kurt Angle will be on next week's RAW to address this.
Then Kurt can come out next week and in the ring he is talking about his legacy and what he did for WWE, etc... villain comes out, bad mouths Kurt, pie faces him, bad mouths him some more and is about to give Kurt a beating.
And then out of the crowd or out of the back Gable Steveson comes out, Cole starts shouting in his mic "Its Olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson!" and Gable gets in the ring, does a few punches and some Olympic wrestling style holds on the villain to where he is tapping out, maybe even end it with an ankle lock.
Then as Kurt and Gable leave the ring together the announcers can go over his accomplishments to refresh peoples' memories of who he is and why this was significant... and then for the next 2-3 weeks they do segments at the gym or performance center with Kurt taking him under his wing and showing him the business where it eventually leads to a PPV match with Gable taking on the villain.
But instead we got "Here is Gable Steveson!" and then his name gets mentioned off and on for a year or two before we really get a chance to see him do anything and when he does he comes across still like a rookie (whereas if they did something like the above him being a rookie would have been more acceptable because that was the story they told).
That’s not a bad idea! If WWE had gone with this plan, things would have worked out.
They thought he was Kurt Angle and he turned out to be Slyvester Turkay
Cena kept bringing up how great Turkay was
at least he got that i guess
Wow, that's pretty spot on
@@tedjomuljono3052 I thought Cena was being disingenuous, but in hindsight he was probably just trying to get him over or will it into existence
What about Veer? They said he was coming for 6 months. He became a joke before he ever showed up and had no chance at all after that.
Yeah really.....
Proud to say I was in that crowd for the Corbin Stevenson match. That was hilarious
Gable Steveson? The guy who had credible rape allegations and only got off due to a loophole that was closed immediately afterwards?
Gable Steveson could’ve been in Diamond Mine or Alpha Academy trained to be a professional wrestler and could’ve been at least a solid midcarder. I didn’t know Damon Kemp is actually Bobby Steveson, Gable’s brother. He DEFINITELY should’ve been in Diamond Mine with his brother but I kinda get why they didn’t because the faction already has a brother tag team with the Creeds
So I just found out in the comments that Damon Kemp is Gable Stevenson brother and know I'm really pissed at Triple H and Shawn Michaels for not having those two team up and fighting The Creed Brothers.
The Creed brothers are PRO wrestling machines. Their quick learning, strong booking and quality performances show how valuable they are. They don't deserve to lose a terrible match, one that the fans will shit on, to a trash opponent. Nobody cares about their collective amateur backgrounds enough to want to see that, and anyone who knows enough about them would expect it to be a vehicle to put Steveson over at the expense of lower paid wrestlers with way more talent.
Don’t forget that Oba Femi and Gable were signed at the same time
I liked the format of this video, really fun energy!
The meme-worthy shot of Gable at GAB '23 staring into the camera with that dazed, dead-eye look became legendary as it summed up his WWE run in a screenshot...
Gable Stevenson confirmed as Jason Jordan’s little brother.
Mr Kennedy, guy was hot and got hurt three months in, then got hurt right before he was gonna be world champion, then got suspended before he was gonna be Vince’s son, then got hurt the next year, and then got fired right after returning in 2009 for dropping Orton on his shoulder.
EDIT: Oh, and when he was gonna win the belt, his shoulder injury was HEAVILY misdiagnosed as needed to be out for 8 months and he was actually out for about 8 weeks and probably could’ve still won the belt and held off defending it for a little bit
Tbf he was never really the same after being the last guy to wrestle Eddie Guerrero before his untimely demise smh
gable steveson and wwe just didnt work out
Odyssey Jones has got to be up there, just for the fact that he has been missing for ages
I feel like Gable is a guy who came around about 40 years too late. He'd be a guy that would have been great somewhere like MidSouth under Bill Watts. He loved to take guys like that and build them up over time. WWE hyped so much right out of the gate a guy who needed trained from scratch. Most people don't get pro wrestling at a high level quickly like Angle or Lesnar. Some people just need time to make it click not just doing the moves, but how to manipulate a crowd and be entertaining. He may continue to train if it's something he really wants to do,
From what I learned which I dont know if anybody else knew was that Gable Steveson was once arrested in 2019 on suspicion of SA.
He got off due to a technicality and a legal system that didn't want to "hurt a man's future"
@@rocklee2344 yeah well if he did something he should've gotten charged and taken to jail and then wwe probably would'nt have hired him to begin with.
@@disneyvideocollector9375 he was already hired. It came out a year or so after him signing with WWE
I admit in 2018 I thought Lars could've been a modern day Sid, with his badass pre-Def Rebel NXT theme music and entrance effect with his spotlight and silhouette. Despite not being great in the ring (like Sid) his gimmick and presentation could have made him *something*. Like EVERYTHING about Vince's main roster in 2019 especially, he DIDN'T. Even before his being EXPOSED (in every sense)...
Angle would have been great as Steveson's manager, if Kurt wanted to do it... of course.
Kevin Dunn been hired by WhatCulture? More camera cuts in this 20 minute video than 3 hours of Raw in 2019.
Boudreaux also bore a great physical resemblance to Lesnar too.
Gable Stevesons brother gonna be bigger in the business than he ever will
The rape allegations didn't help his career either.
we already had a chad gable olympic medalist in the wwe. we didn’t need another kurt angle prototype with the same name and also a medal.
He didn't win a medal in the Olympics. It's probably why they never went with his real name
who never won a medal ?
@@ev14304 Chad Gable
@@ev14304 Chad
One of the issues is that Gable ran into was being dropped in WWEs system instead of going through the farming system of Memphis.
From the moment I saw Gable Stevenson, i said "what a piece of trash!" No talent, no personally, and nothing special about him. Thank God they split ways.
Plus amateur wrestling is the complete opposite of pro wrestling as per Kurt Angle! Kurt said that in amateur you have to protect your body where as to pro wrestling you give your body to your opponent! Not everyone can switch up real fast from one thing to another so it’s also understandable if Gable wasn’t able to grasped it that fast! But then again the Creeds did and so did his brother and they gonna be bigger house hold names in pro wrestling then they ever were in amateur wrestling! It takes time to build em! I do agree with Murray cause you can’t compare em to bigger names!
This was a very long video just to remind us that Steveson sucked
The Next " insert name"... career killer, every single time, pro sports or wrestling.
Wrestling needs to stop comparing ppl to other ppl. There's some that live up to that accolade, of being the next big star. However most don't live up to the hype. How's about you just let them be them, and find their own path.
It's sad but that's what bookers do it comes..thinking a wrestler will replicate another wrestler
@@khesipresents1885 yeah it is. What's worse is WWE already has a wrestler who's Kurt Angle caliber Chad Gable. Not only his athletic wrestling skills, Chad like Kurt has that charisma to smash anything the creative team gives him. For whatever reason they won't pull that trigger. That's what's best about wrestling games, you can put who you want as champion.
@@patrickmcgavin2245 the gable ship sailed unfortunately..I don't see gable getting even a half of angle push now
Dr. Death Seve Williams, He had just shown up and was going to be big then Brawl For All
He was also older by the time he got to WWF
You didn’t watch his earlier work
@@nygreek743 oh I did see his work in NWA Crockett days.
Gable Stevenson was overhyped and that is on WWE, not the wrestler. He lost the battle before he had even stepped through the curtain, never mind into the ring.
Gable Steveson is already flop in begin with except Olympic . Real talk Chad Gable is easily what Gable Steveson wanted to be in WWE
@@BryRobinson- He’s done exactly what he’s been booked to do. He could’ve easily been the one to dethrone Gunther instead of Sami but they chose to go with him. Chad could easily go on his own version of the “Wrestling Machine” gimmick. He’s proven he can get over catchphrases, he’s proven he can do a comedy gimmick, he did the horrible “Shorty G” gimmick and he’s done several tag teams that all got over. But the company never fully got behind him I’m pretty sure due to his height. But in the ring that man always delivers.
@@BryRobinson - We’re talking about professional wrestling we aren’t talking about amateur wrestling. This is about Gable the “sports Entertainer” not the guy who competed at the 2012 Summer Olympics.
@@BryRobinson - With his recent heel turn he SHOULD be booked like Wrestling Machine Kurt but like I said the company never gave him that push most likely because of his height. Chad has all the tools to succeed but it’s up to the comps to give him that push.
@@westnile21don't argue with that troll, it's a boring, irrelevant clown who will never shut up and will have deleted all it's comments by tomorrow.
Mason Ryan cursed.
@16:35 the writing was on the wall 🧱🖋️📄🥴📈👎🏾📉 when he didn't look at the hard cam✂️ 🧔🏾🎥😮👀
You'd think pairing him with Chad Gable (the true Next Angle) would have been the parth...
Don’t like the camera zooms at all
I prefer his brother Damon Kemp
Gable Stevenson is gone but his brother Damon Kemp is still there
Yeah that was wrong they should have let him go to the Olympics to compete a month ago if they had planned on releasing him endeavor needs to do better with that! He could have went back to the Olympics and done well for himself again! Hopefully he lands on something he can enjoy doing in the future!
Who knows, perhaps he just had absolutely no aptitude for and/or was really unhappy in pro wrestling? It’s one thing not living up to the hype of being the next big thing, but to not even be slotted in to a tag team or faction on NXT, seems like something wasn’t right. Whatever happened or didn’t happen, he’s got to be better off out of it, either for now or for good.
Didn't Kurt got big with crowd on the mic, not with his in-ring action?
I mean he obviously was great as a technical wrestler, but people loved him for being an arrogant heel, a goofy babyface, a smaller underdog giving a bunch of suplexes to bigger opponents. None of that is directly connected to a competitive sport's accolades.
It was just a big Ga(m)ble and it didn't pay off.
P.S. Don't think it was his fault either - what reason would he have to decline a "big money" invitation like that? Sport athlete's lifespan is really low. Pro-wrestlers could be marketable for a lot longer. And arguably a lot more profitable. If it all went out the way both sides thought it would, everyone would benefit, including fans - who wouldn't want to see Kurt Angle in his prime in 2024?
Whoa. Love you guys, but this is a total burial. I’m not saying it’s not warranted! (Glad you gave a shout to another, Parker, who also doesn’t hold a candle.) But this is more of a fault to how someone is represented-which you do touch on-over against their talent. Yes, presence can’t be taught, but it can be coached. (Which I’ll also say, you called his coach Kennedy, but he’s Ken Anderson, by Gawd, and should be allowed to be recognized by his real name, Andy! And Love Ya!)
The Miz had a rough start. Kane before he was Kane.
Because Giant Gonzalez was over in WCW
"Mean" Mark quit WCW to get away from having to work with El Gigante in 1990...
...three years later... 🤣🤣
Almost every WCW wrestler who went to WWE.
He was never fully all into in he always wanted to keep amateur wrestling, he shouldv been straight in nxt his brother has always been a better fit
Andy Murray looking extremely handsome as always especially in his tight khaki pants and green t-shirt.
Where's Odyssey Jones?
Gable wasn't cursed, he just sucked.
pain of truth
Just because u can actually toss dudes around for real doesn’t mean u can pretend to do it…
Wanted kurt 2.0. Got kirk angle
Or Eric Angle, Kurt's real life brother.
@@shaneomacfan3 That's a bit mean. Eric's alright.
Eugene you knew would not last long
Eugene wasn't a good run for Wwe , especially the way his character was developed by the former boss .
This guy was a massive waste of time and money
Nah...Keith Lee
Lex Luger is going to be the next Hulk Hogan.
Sin Cara is going to be the next Rey Mysterio 🤦♂️
Theory is going to be the next John Cena.
Its like just stop. Let the superstars carve their own spot and quit trying to make them fill the shoes of others
This is what we scrapped NXT ups and downs for?
On Saturday? Obviously not...
KENTA I remember the hype about him coming but my boy could not get outta the blocks on top of the fact that his debut was quickly overshadowed by Finn Balor and then Finn Balor as the demon it was just injury after injury after injury for him I'm pretty sure that him injuring people with the GTS didn't do him any favors either overall it was just not meant to be and it was so sad to watch
KENTA's injury issues were heartbreaking
@@RedCloudGawdian I remember people complaining( and they were kind of right) even before everything else went wrong his theme music just did not fit him and we were all hoping that it would change and it never did
His allegations were really troubling
Yikes
Last time I was this early CM Punk was making TK fear for his life
Last time I was this early CM Punk was tearing a muscle.
@BryRobinson After Hangman shoot promo how dare him! Then CM Punk brags that he shoots on people. He's a fragile narcissist.
Really triggered the marks there, well played sir
@BryRobinson not exactly proving me wrong dude...
@@jordza2k11 it's what I do
the 90s rules,we even had Chuck Norris in 94 now you all got that logan paul guy ,a podcaster that looks like spike Dudley.
WWE invested on the wrong brother! Damon Kemp is way better the Stevenson! And it didn’t help that they tried to compare him to Kurt Angle so the expectation was way too high! Maybe if he didn’t have so much pressure he might had been better! They didn’t do that to the creeds and look how great they are! The one guy Parker something with him he was compared to Brock and dude sucks but same thing high expectations! WWE should stop doing that because then the pressure is on which is probably what WWE want to put on em to see if a diamond is squeezed out of coal with the pressure but instead they Bust like a pipe! If they just let these athletes learned at a normal pace maybe WWE will churn out better performers out the NIL! Look at all these other Athletes that are in WWE have turned into stars none of em had those pressures but yet they are awesome wrestlers!
As terrible his run was, it's still shitty of the corporation to block him from trying out for the Olympics. I mean it's not like he hasn't won multiple times and if he won again it wouldn't bring eyes to WWE or anything.
Then to release him after he can't go and try out is even worse. They had to know for months that it just wasn't working out as an on screen talent. Put him as a coach to help others with grappling or something, let him take his time off to go do what he is actually good at.
I hate seeing people released especially when the lack of performance is on WWE. Put him on the coconut loop or with Alpha Academy until he can figure this sports entertainment thing out. If working with Chad can't get you over and a half way decent wrestler then yeah cut anyone. But to just cut people bc they weren't "being used" has always been shady to me. The people at the office making millions every few months do far less work than anyone else yet they have job security?
Daniel Puder
Yikes. I mean you’re right, but hopefully he doesn’t have the backslide that Puder had.
I don't know if they were all that high in puder
Enzo
I trust triple H running things. Especially after I saw him teaching the recruits on Tough Enough.
HHH “Are you tired?”
Yes sir
HHH “Nobody fuckin cares. Take a bump”
He never had a character behide him. Like what was his role and that's just the start of it.
@BryRobinson and out of these 4 who dnt make it. Just cuz he's a gold medal dnt mean a damn thing did it. Are you his fan where was your support for him 🤔 👀
@BryRobinson what stigma. It was flop on both sides him not having any charisma or character and the wwe for just not doing anything with him.
@@arieslopez1378don't bother arguing with this troll account, absolute joke who will have deleted all it's comments by tomorrow anyway.
Second
Gable should just be happy hes not in jail where he belongs.
Kurt Angle didn't have "it," right off the bat. Very much revisionist history.
Yes he did. From the moment he debuted he was awesome and is still the fastest person to have no experience in "sports entertainment" and to debut on tv and win a belt. Everyrhing Kurt did from the start was gold. Which he won, with a broken freaking neck
Gable was joke from the start why are y’all even wasting time on this guy plus he wanted to go back to the Olympics
He's a rapist too.
Why are Europeans way better at talking about wrestling?
Because we know what we're talking about...though I wouldn't say these clowns do, they're an exception 😂
Actually first 😂
I was waiting for this to be another Gulak bash fest by these 2 with only hearsay
WWE should have made Gable Stevenson and Chad Gable a tag team called "Gable 2 Gable" one very good pro wrestler one meh one, it would have worked well
Gotta say the production of this video is top notch, good work fellas.
Oh my god before sami zayne!!??? Well... duh yeah obviously. 2001 Sami zayne was a mid card comedy heal with paranoid delusions. Come on guys.
Man they gave up on Gable Steveson way too early. I mean they cut a freaking Olympic gold medalist after just one match & it wasn't even that bad for someone having their first scripted wrestling match, it's not like Kurt Angle's first match against Shawn Stasiak was five stars. Cut him after one match & meanwhile they're shoving Jade Cargill who's basically the female equivalent of 2020s Goldberg down people's throats, and Cargill's almost 32 & been wrestling for years whereas Steveson is only about to turn 24 won a gold medal & has only like two scripted wrestling matches total. I mean after just one televised match his very first match, heck Eddie Guerrero broke his elbow in his very first WWE match, it's not like Logan Paul's or Bad Bunny's debut tag matches were that spectacular but they went on to have great matches in the future. I mean he has an accolade that only one other sports entertainment wrestler in history has achieved & really should get another shot, especially if he manages to win another gold medal or even any medal in this year's Olympics.
Cope harder why don’t you, bro.
This video is coming from people who needs the wwe to make a living and then y’all talk down on the company every chance y’all get
?
Poor you
😂😂😂
